New to Flash...sorry
I have been doing some Flash tutorials and trying to learn as much as I can however I can't seem to find a tut for the following task I have, any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to do a very simple project that requires;
A web banner with five slides/pics (the five slides have are a 5 layer psd)
Need to show them in a certain order and to 'dissolve' them into each other.
I thought this would be simple.... it probably is
i have imported the layers from the psd and converted them to movie clips, so i have them in the library.
what i am trying to work out is how to show these layers in a certain order and tween between them.
i think i am beginning to grasp objects and instances but how to use the timeline to control the layers ie. show the first picture (layer) for 3 seconds and then tween to the next layer and so on and so forth.
The banner shown on the site below is an example what I am trying to achieve, a collection of photos that fade/dissolve into eachother

I have tried to install the new Adobe Flash Player 11 dozens of times, but it stops at 7%. What to do?

Hey All,
I am new with flash and i am creating a site and i have
created a button which i want to modify.
So i basically copied it and now when i make chnages to one
button, it effects the other ones also.
Can someone help me, its prob easy but i am blind.
I have done a search also and could not find anything, so
sorry if its already been posted somewhere.
Thanks in advance :)This is because you have many *instances* of the same symbol.
The reason for
this is that if you need the same thing on stage many times,
it is more
efficient in terms of filesize of your finished SWF to use
the same symbol.
What you need to do is:
Select the button you want to change.
In your 'Properties' panel, click the 'Swap' button.
At the bottom of the panel that pops up is a button that
looks like 2
squared with an arrow - click this.
Give your duplicate symbol a new name.
Click OK.
Edit the new symbol.
Repeat until done!

New To Flash - Developed Slideshow
Is there anyway that I can set the window size for the
slideshow when the user clicks on the link to open? Right now it
opens in a new window that shows the background color.
I would like for it to display as when I hit ctrl+enter to
test the slideshow.
Is the *.swf file the only file that I need to upload to the
server for it to function correctly or do I need to upload the
*.fla file as well.
I know these might sound like stupid questions but again I am
new to flash.
All help is greatly appreciated.

The Flash Movie is a file that is loaded by the OBJECT tag
for Windows IE
and EMBED tag for other web browers. How the tags get there
can range from a
static html document to a serverside script. Even a static
html document
having Javascript write out the OBJECT and EMBED tags.
Basic Flash files are
1. MyMovie.fla - the Flash Document you keep in the
development computer.
Only accessible via the Flash Authoring software.
2. MyMovie.swf - a Flash Movie that can be played in the
Flash Player. Most
commonly placed on the web server and will require a web page
with the
OBJECT and EMBED tags to load the movie. Also can be loaded
externally by
projectors discussed in next item.
3. MyMovie.exe and MyMovie.hqx are Flash Movies that include
the Flash
Player and can be run from the Windows and Macintosh desktop
respectively.
Also called projectors. No web browser is involved so no need
for html tags.
If you look at File->Publish Settings and the Format tab,
you see what files
you can choose to publish. The above are the most common and
most useful.

Hi everyone. Well I am new to flash and I have a few
questions. Here they are:
1. How do I import a bitmap, without just pasting it.
2. I also would like to know if there is a possibility of
having objects which I can then get them to move around, asign
bitmaps, etc.
well I actually have many more than that, but for now I would
like those answered. (by the way I am making a small animation/
cartoon series with weird stick characters)
Thankshit F1 (help) and start reading - it is all there in the
documentation that comes with flash - these
forums work best when we dont have to retype the entire
manual - when you get stuck with a specific
issue and have exhausted all means of resolving it, then post
here.
also - plenty of information already available on the web:

About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working
After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
I have updated my devices drivers. I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
Thanks for any help you can give me.FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
I have checked this too and
*Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
* Yes at medium now (was at med high)
* have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
* C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
* No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
thanks! -
Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!
Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!
Hi again Stephen,
That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
good luck,

Whats new with Flash Player 9.0

> tralfaz
I have confirmed his complaint. stopAllSounds works correctly
across multiple swfs on an html page using Flash player 8 but not
with Flash Player 9.
Incidentally, there is another big "improvement" (they say)
that prevents you from uninstalling the Flash 9 player without
running
their uninstaller exe. Unfortunately, their uninstaller
uninstalls all flash player versions (not just version 9) from ALL
browsers
so if just want to remove player 9 from IE you are forced to
also uninstall it from FireFox etc as well. Great, huh?

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

845 PE-Max "NEW" Bios Flash "does it really fix the temp readings?"
So MSI has been having problems with there Temp readings on there boards. So I was surprised to see that they just released a bios update to correct this issue. Of course I couldn't wait to download and flash the bios and see what effect it had. Everything went well, I popped into windows and (I'm testing Intel's stock HSF currently) and my temps dropped drastically????? Now this can't be correct either...
Motherboard: 32c
CPU: 29c
Case 23c
Now remember this is with the retail P4 2.53 HSF. With the new bios flash it shows a cooler temp than my Spark 7. And the Intel is only running at 2400RPM. Before the bios flash with the Intel HSF:
Motherboard: 33c
CPU: 40c
Case 23c
Well ran another test last night. Ran a CPU Burn-In test for 30 Minutes and the temp only hit 45c during the test. Obviously the new BIOS is incorrect. I find it impossible that the retail HSF on my P4 2.53GHz can keep it below 50c under max load. My Tt Spark 7 with Artic Silver II only kept it at 37c idle. I'm reading 28c Idle now using the retail HSF.
MSI - ??????????????????????????

Hi all. I am very very new to Flash, been thinking about usig
it for all of a day! I have to come up with a website and the
general idea is that a lot of 3D is to be used. Although I have
been heavily involved in 3D for 14 years now, web development apart
from HTML is a little new to me. I have been told that the SWF
output from Maya is not actually truly suitable for a website due
to file sizes. Is this true? Would anybody be able to suggest an
alternative or a way to shrink file sizes if needed? Maya is what I
know, 2D animation isn't. Any help on this would be truly
appreciated.
Regards, A.
check out Swift 3D, it's probably one of the best
solutions
I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5
I have always been able to watch videos on line. Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos. When I try to download it won't do it.
Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
IMO 10.6 would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8.
Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods explained
Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

Help... I'm new to Flash
Hello,
I am new to Flash development and I've created a simple flash
website with links/buttons on the left and on the right a content
box.
My question is how to make transitions or effects after you
click one of the links on the left, to make the content part load
up into a special effect, something like random tiles flipping over
displaying the new content corresponding to the button on the left
that you click. Are there any tutorials that would be helpful? I'm
also trying to create a special effect that loads the entire flash
in a cool way, not having the flash just appear simply but appear
with a special effect.
Any help would be appreciated,
Alan
You can insert ananimation in a movieclip with an alpha
transition. Load it on a higher level as the button is clicked on a
lower level.
There are many examples, there are about as many ways to do
it also.
